Bak Kut Teh- Jalan Ipoh

BAK KUT TEH @ RESTORAN SEM KIM, JALAN IPOH, K.L.

Bak-Kut-Teh

After a night out, we headed to Jalan Ipoh for Bak Kut Teh (mixed pork parts in herbal soup). The proprietor is Hokkien, and friendly and obliging - probably a slow night.

The Bak Kut Teh is really great. It's light on the herbs, so it lets the 'parts' do the talking. It's the soup that makes this dish great. Oh, the U-Puî (oil rice) that accompanies it is fragrant. The side order of liver soup with red wine is like what I cook at home (minus white wine). A great night out that capped my trip.
